Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 This is also true for me. Big surprise; I never had heartburn, either. I am still hoarse; what worked for you? Re: Question When I had this problem, the final diagnosis was GERD (acid reflux) which had burned my vocal cords and the upper part of my lungs. I was aspirating the splashed up stomach acid overnight. I never had heartburn. Marti > Hello, > > I was wondering if anyone suffers from a scratchy throat?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Im learning my body all over again with the can and cannot do's im enhancing my protien more more each time.But question is how much protien grams does our bodies consume at a time with the DS.Im drinking the isopure powder mix and instructions say 1 scoop=25grm protien. So hoping if our bodies can consume 50grams of protien at each serving this would be wonderful. > > > > a > > > > Want to know why people on this list call me Mama Jo?
